Bang Band SiXXX: Relay EP ('Sixxx' is stylized as 'SiXXX' in print) is an EP by the band VAST, under the alias of Crosby's science-fiction alter ego band Bang Band SiXXX. The songs are taken from the storyline of Crosby's novel Bang Band SiXXX, surrounding the lives of a rock band in the future. The songs all have lyrics relating to the story, and the music is futuristic and electronic. There is little of the world music theme found in normal VAST albums, as the music on this album is more electronic focused, a change from the acoustic music of VAST's recent. Many of the songs found on the album have become live staples at VAST shows.

Extended play musical recording longer than a single, but shorter than a full album

An extended play record, often referred to as an EP, is a musical recording that contains more tracks than a single, but is usually unqualified as an album or LP. EPs generally contain a minimum of four tracks and maximum of six tracks, and are considered "less expensive and time-consuming" for an artist to produce than an album. An EP originally referred to specific types of vinyl records other than 78 rpm standard play (SP) and LP, but it is now applied to mid-length CDs and downloads as well.

VAST is an American alternative rock band based in Seattle. The acronym VAST stands for Visual Audio Sensory Theater and is the main creation of singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jon Crosby. The band is signed to 2blossoms, an independent record company created by Crosby.
